There
is a new challenge blog in town, CASology! I have seen many of my blogging friends joining in on the challenge and knew I wanted to get an entry into the inaugural challenge! The cue card for the week is the word SUN. I wanted to create a card that was different from my previous sun cards and this is the result!
This card is about as simple as it gets! I did add one layer of color behind my white panel, to help my sun pop just a little more! Here is a close up of the twine details-
Design Tips-I punched a circle, applied ATG gun adhesive (any strong adhesive would work), then wrapped my twine around from the inside out. For my stitching, I punched varying length holes, then stitched on the sun rays. I really like the look! Great use for all of the twine you have just begging to be used!
Supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
D1476 Card Chatter-Sympathy
1385 White Daisy Cardstock
X5918 Sunflower Cardstck
Z2105 Black Ink
Lemondrop Twine-Twinery
